New York Lawmakers Push to Ban Surveillance Pricing to Protect Shoppers

In New York, lawmakers are advocating for a ban on 'surveillance pricing,' a practice where companies use personal data, search history, and shopping patterns to set personalized prices for consumers. This practice has led to fluctuating prices during online shopping, raising concerns about privacy and fairness. The push to end surveillance pricing is part of a broader effort to protect consumer rights and ensure transparency in pricing strategies. The initiative reflects growing awareness and legislative action against the use of personal data in ways that may disadvantage consumers.

Meta Removes End-to-End Encryption from Instagram DMs, Raising Privacy Concerns

Meta Removes End-to-End Encryption from Instagram DMs, Raising Privacy Concerns

Meta has announced the removal of end-to-end encryption from Instagram direct messages, a feature that had been available since 2023. The company cited low user adoption as the reason for discontinuing the feature, which was not enabled by default and required users to activate it for each conversation. This change means that Meta can now access the content of Instagram messages, which could be shared with law enforcement agencies. The removal comes ahead of the Take It Down Act, which mandates the removal of non-consensual intimate imagery within 48 hours, a task complicated by encryption. Meta suggests users seeking encrypted messaging use WhatsApp, another app it owns, or alternatives like iMessage and Signal.
